Name: Thornclaw Braveheart

Species: Stoat

Gender: Male

Allegiance: Nobody, but he's a good guy

Personality: Ruthless fighter, wouldn't really bother if covered in an enemy's blood. Not that sociable either, but if you know him for a while, he's a nice guy.

Weapons: Trademark Zweihander, longbow, multiple knives/daggers, right-paw gauntlet with crossed swords emblem

Clothing: Metal-plated jerkin, two crossed leather belts for Zweihander and longbow quiver, belt on waist over jerkin for daggers, camoflagued hooded cloak

Appearance: Dark brown fur, a few scars on body, but most not visible

Background: Came from a bandit family but was exiled for his sympathy towards the weak, was found by Blademaster of the Long Patrol and inherited his Zweihander, using it to fight and kill three warlords (actually, only one was killed directly by the Z-hander). After killing the murderer of his father, Thornclaw left the peaceful life of his Redwall friends (after almost being named Abbot) and became a loner, but soon gathered exactly twenty other stoats, trained them in the art of the sword, and named them the Ranger Corps. He travels all over the world with them, fighting vermin and protecting goodbeasts everywhere. Vermin all fear the Greatsword, as he is often called.
